Amazing hostel, social, staff really friendly, they have activities every night (karaoke, Latin dance…), good common spaces, bike rent, hot water in the showers. The only bad thing is that I didn’t have wi-if in the girls dorm.

Süßes Hostel, nette Leute und schöne abendliche Aktivitäten und Atmosphäre. Leider war die Einrichtung und der Spind zum Sachen einschließen sehr in die Jahre gekommen und die Tür zum Zimmer war immer offen.

Great and nicely located. However it is not well suited for social interactions and the night activities starting at 8pm are more repellent than anything else.

We stayed in the private room in the Casa Mango and it was perfect. It was calm and beautiful. The common kitchen is very equipped. The social experience is fine. We were two so it was easy to find solo travelers that wanted to hang out, but everybody was ganged up when we arrive. The location is perfect.

This is one of the best hostels, especially when it comes to atmosphere and the friendliness of staff and volunteers. It's convenient that El Clan hostel is right accross the street and you can use the pool, and also as a woman, you can use any facilities from Tribu Hostel (hairdryer, hair iron, clothes iron, etc). The rooms are quite basic, not very spacious, but there is space for the luggage, the bed are like pods, they have curtains, therefore it's enough privacy. It's very cool that the ...

The check-in was fine, but the place is rudimentary and looks better in photos than in reality. Upon entering, we smelled gas. We notified the staff, and they disconnected the bottle at our request. That evening, we asked to fix it properly so we could cook. Shockingly, they reconnected the bottle without checking for the leak, allowing gas to escape directly into the room. This level of negligence is beyond understanding and extremely dangerous. I'm truly baffled by their lack of care.

Good hostel overall, very nice hangout area, really good kitchen, even a tv. No activities really run even tho were advertised on the black board, or at least we weren’t aware of them 🤷‍♀️ Short walk away from centre, you can rent bikes from there, even tho they’re more expensive than anywhere else but that’s to be expected. Would stay again.

My private room was very big but also very loud. The woman who checked me in didn't explain anything. If you are interested in social events I can't recommend going to Puerto Viejo. The hostel is ok, they had a few events but you also get the occasional everyone on the phone vibes.

Nice hostel, close to the beach and busy area in Puerto Viejo. Staff is friendly, but not very interactive with guests. Rooms a bit small, but beds are nice and the AC is a real bonus. Kitchen one of the best in my entire travels. Very well equipped and a lot of space!

Overall very good. Friendly staff, well-equipped kitchen, showers okay. The dorms were really very cramped, though.
